Rbecky. I struggle daily with that also. Some days it feels like all that hard work, time,tears, and sweat I put in don't mean anything anymore. But remember it's the baby. Its not you. And if you lost it once you can do it again if need be. :)

Yes, I have horrible acne on my face. I normally don't and people keep pointing it out. So frustrating. Whitegirl22, I lost 55 pounds before getting pregnant and had a hard time with the idea of gaining weight. I have about 10 weeks left and already gained 25 pounds. My doc says it's fine but my mind still struggles with it. But anyway, I don't feel so pretty with all of this acne and oily skin. Where is the pregnancy glow?! Lol! I'm happy about my growing baby though.

Might sound silly but I feel a little better about myself cuz now I'm supposed to have a belly! 6 months pregnant & I've lost about 10 lbs. I'm not trying to.... I'm just eating better. I feel blessed to have this little miracle growing in me. Ya'll rock too & I know all you mommies look beautiful!

This is my first time on here, I have recently joined. I cannot tell you how long I have needed to hear that.. Every morning I have a new spot on my face, every morning I dread what the day has because if it means getting dressed, I just want to stay home. Everytime I have went to get dressed, I just cry and cry. I dont see the weight, but my clothes reveal it all. I am only four months, and in my first three I gained a lot and fast. I have had such a dificult time facing the weight gain, and dealing with the fact that i will continue for the next five months. I feel gross, and my anxiety just adds onto how bad I feel.

At times it is hard to remember that I have a major reason for what is going on, and how truly beautiful the little bundle of magic growing inside me will be because of it.

Thank you. It's nice to know it's not just me feeling this way. I spent 3 years working my tail off to lose 190lbs. Yes you read that right. And I've been having a lot of trouble being ok with gaining weight and watching my body grow again. I daily tell myself that it is the baby growing and I'm not gaining weight. My ob has told me repeatedly that I need to gain another 10lbs and I promise I am trying. But I have to do it the healthy way, fruits veggies and lean meats. I'm working hard on wrapping my head around my growing size (10 weeks left to go)  I'm glad to hear it not just me that has this feeling. It really helps.

U know what? Thank u for posting this. Some days I feel fine. Others, like today, definitely not so much. I even put on makeup today. I ain't all dressed up or nothing but I got some cool jeans and a nice t-shirt on and when I got done with my makeup, I just looked at myself and sighed in utter disappointment. So, thank u. I really needed to read this.
